Can I check how much bandwidth I've consumed for a specific proxy order?

Yes. Use the `get_traffic` tool with your Order ID. Your agent will return the exact amount of data used in GB/MB, helping you avoid unexpected depletion of funds for residential proxies.

How do I whitelist my server's IP address through my agent?

The `add_whitelist_ip` tool allows your agent to authorize a specific IPv4 address for a proxy order. This enables user/pass-free authentication, which is more secure for headless scrapers and backend servers.

Can I check if residential proxies are available in a specific country?

Absolutely. Use the `get_availability` tool and specify the product (e.g. 'residential'). Your agent will return a live count of online proxies in the IPRoyal pool for each country.

IPRoyal (Proxy Services) + VS Code Copilot Use Cases

Practical scenarios where VS Code Copilot combined with the IPRoyal (Proxy Services) MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Live API integration: Copilot can query an MCP server, inspect the response schema, and generate typed API client code in the same step

DevSecOps workflows: security teams can give developers access to domain intelligence tools directly in their editor for real-time vulnerability assessment during code review

Data pipeline development: Copilot fetches sample data via MCP and generates transformation scripts, validators, and test fixtures from actual API responses

Documentation generation: Copilot queries available tools and auto-generates README sections, API reference docs, and usage examples

IPRoyal (Proxy Services) MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (10)

These 10 tools become available when you connect IPRoyal (Proxy Services) to VS Code Copilot via MCP:

add_whitelist_ip

This is highly recommended for securely authenticating headless scrapers or servers where you do not want to expose proxy credentials in source code. Authorize a new IP for IPRoyal proxy access

change_credentials

If you suspect your proxy credentials have leaked or you need to rotate access keys for security, use this tool to set a new username and password instantly. Update username/password for an IPRoyal proxy order

generate_proxy_string

Standard format is `geo.iproyal.com:10000:username:password`. Pass `country` to append geographic targeting rules, or `session` for sticky IP sessions. Helper to generate a dynamic geo-targeted proxy string

get_availability

Useful to dynamically determine if a target region has sufficient IPs before initiating a geo-targeted crawl. By default targets "residential". Check proxy IP availability across different countries

get_profile

Use this to ensure there are enough funds before executing large scraping runs. Get IPRoyal account balance and profile details

get_traffic

Residential proxies are billed by traffic, so regular monitoring with this endpoint prevents unexpected depletion of funds. Get precise proxy traffic consumption statistics for an order

list_countries

Contains the specific country codes (e.g., "us", "de") and region identifiers required to construct geo-targeted proxy connection strings (e.g., appending "_country-us" to the password). Get list of supported geo-targeting countries, cities, and ISPs

list_orders

An order represents a purchased batch of proxy traffic or IPs (e.g., Royal Residential, Sneaker IPs). The response contains order IDs necessary for traffic lookups and credential management. Get all active proxy orders (Residential, Datacenter)

list_whitelisted_ips

Whitelisted IPs can connect directly to the proxy endpoints without supplying the username and password in the connection string. List IPs allowed to connect to IPRoyal without user/pass

remove_whitelist_ip

Required for security hygiene when scraping servers are decommissioned or IP addresses change. Revoke an IP from IPRoyal proxy access

Example Prompts for IPRoyal (Proxy Services) in VS Code Copilot

IPRoyal (Proxy Services) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating IPRoyal (Proxy Services) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
